Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cabbage, finely chopped


• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped


• 2 cloves garlic, minced


• 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions on how to make Healthy Filipino Lumpiang Shanghai


  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, diced carrots, chopped cabbage, green onions, and minced garlic.

  2. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and salt to the pork mixture.

  3. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

  4. Separate the spring roll wrappers carefully, keeping them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

  5. Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture onto the center of each spring roll wrapper.

  6. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, securing the end with a dab of water to seal.

  7. Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

  8. Fry the lumpia in batches, without overcrowding, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  9. Remove the lumpia from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  10. Serve the Lumpiang Shanghai hot with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I use a different type of meat instead of ground pork for this recipe?


A1: Yes, you can substitute the ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.


Q2: Can I make the Lumpiang Shanghai ahead of time and reheat them later?


A2: Absolutely! Once the lumpia are fried and cooled, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through and crispy again.


Q3: Can I bake the Lumpiang Shanghai instead of frying them?


A3: Yes, you can bake the lumpia for a healthier alternative. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), lightly brush the lumpia with oil, and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
